“Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God; mediation lets God speak to you.”

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

God specializes in giving people a fresh start.

Life minus love equals zero.

Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.

God doesn’t intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you, too.

Other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.

You weren’t put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.

Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.

When God is at the center of your life, you Worship, when He’s not, you Worry.

Wearing a mask wears you out. Faking it is fatiguing. The most exhausting activity is pretending to be what you know you aren’t.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

It is never too late to start growing.

How can life be worth living, if devoid Of the calm trust reposed by friend in friend? What sweeter joy than in the kindred soul, Whose converse differs not from self-communion?

Some conversations feel like a hug. Some people feel like home.

I miss people I have never met. Conversations I have never had. Streets I’ve never walked. And love I have never made.

Spiritual people are not those who engage in certain spiritual practices; they are those who draw their life from a conversational relationship with God.

That first justification given, again, the White House misleading the country about a major action the administration was taking, but the fact that they had a private conversation in which the president,

Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.

Inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence.

Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It’s the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all.
